HE WINS THE oRANGEMEN.
O'Brien, in his opening remarks, wor
at once the Ulster Protestants, who wert
listening, and who form large
section of the population, wher
he asserted that the Orange farmers il
the north of Ireland, were as mach OPP
pressed, as the Catholic farmers, ant
that Lord Lansdowne was championins
the cause of these despotic landlords
who were causing this oppression. My
mission, he exclaimed, is not to stir ul
strife, but 10 blend orange and green.
This sentence at once won over the
descendant Ulster farmers. They
cheered as heartily as anybody
else. Again, when he said

in exposing his murderous
POLICY in Ireland as TO make Orangemen
as well as Nationalists, least believe
in their only one Lord, He who rules
above the cedars and the stars. Among
other things, 0'Brien said: II believe
the few misunderstanding which have
arisen between the Protestants and
Catholic Irishmen,, can be made
very soon to pass away, and
A somewhat ominoui

At 8 o'clock, when Dennis kilbridt

IT GETS WORSE.
The crowd outside, was now swollen t.
immense proportions, and the meeting
was brought to an end by few re-
marks from the Chairman, J. j. Behan,
who told the audience to go home
peaceably.
WORSE AND WORSE.
As the people started out, OBrien be
ing in the rear, and thinking this to be
too remarkable, o Brien' friends hurried
him to the front. He stepped on to the
sidewalk, wearing his usual tall hat
The moment the Orangemen on the op.
posite side of the street saw him,
they raised savage yells and cries,
"There he Isl" They rushed
across the street, and cobble stone;
and bricks began flying like hail; womer
and general confusion
reigned. "Ah. they're at it again,
said O'Brien in mournful regret, NOR,
than in anger. "Yes, yes" roared tn,
mob. "TRere he is" ''Drag him ou
on the street." "kill him, choke him.
"Tear him asunder.'
VERY MUCH WORSE.
They almost burst through O'Brien'
body guard, which consisted of Ameri
cans, special correspondents, and loca
officers of the National League. A ma,

The crowd surged against the wall,
